In Holland, students usually do not live on campus but have their own room. Finding good, affordable accommodation can be a problem in Holland, as there is a shortage. Make sure you start looking for a room as soon as you are officially enrolled.

Working after your studies

Holland Alumni are highly employable.

The Dutch education system looks beyond offering good quality study programmes. It is a common belief in the Netherlands that offering a good study climate alone is not enough, but that students need to be given the tools to start a great career after receiving their diplomas.

It is therefore no surprise that large international recruitment agencies see graduates from Dutch institutions as highly interesting and highly employable.
